But true, he was pish. He is awesome. A bit of a tangent but the turn around in Stuart Armstrong demonstrates that it is as much to do with terrible Scottish managers as it is bad youth coaching the fact that Scotland are pish at football. |

I could be wrong, but I don't think Ronnie Deila was Scottish. |

If those 20 pages covers last season there should be next to no positive posts about him - he was utter tripe. Like a few others he looks a different player under Brendan. |

I too noticed his workrate last night, however the post-match interview distracted me to ponder a wider point of perhaps more questionable significance: is he the best spoken Scottish player to have donned the hoops

You are wrong, but you are too busy being smart to realise where you are ignorant ![]() Most professional Scottish footballers are developed by actual Scottish managers. As the Armstrong situatiion has demonstrated, all the technique and skill doesnt amount to much when badly managed. Ronnie Deila wasn't Scottish, so you internet defeated whoever said he was...... |

Very good point. Fatboab Deila isn't Scottish, but he was deemed better than other Scottish managers by Celtic. I do think the original point raised is possibly true. Edited by Connolly's Rhebels, 10 Dec 2016, 02:23 PM.

He wasn't "pish". He showed quality but was just inconsistent. And that was playing out of position! Obviously went up another level under BR though, as most seem to have done. |

Looking at Armstrong the main improvement is fitness. I questioned his stamina when he arrived and said throughout that this was his main issue. Same with GMS and Rogic. The obviously have worked extremely hard to get themselves up to the required level. The potential has always been there. Poor fitness leads to bad decisions, poor touches and ultimately low confidence. Brendan has obviously noticed this and got them all up to the required level of fitness and instilled the belief in them to go and make an impact. |

Armstrong looked a really good prospect when he came to Celtic, developed through the Scottish system, with Scottish managers. It was only when RD got hold of him that his career went into reverse, and he's only now recovering from 18 months of being played out of position, if at all. There's no doubt Rodgers has had an amazing impact on many of our players, but to blame Armstrongs loss of form/confidence on anyone other than Deila is crazy. |

He started out scoring and looking very promising (GMS too as I recall). Their declines under Ronny were pronounced. You're still a big internet bully though.

Absolutely. He's just so, so fit. You can see he's got the confidence to go and get involved because he knows he can last the game - whether it's getting beyond the last man, looking to beat someone, trying to make some space to make something happened, whatever. His second goal last night was absolutely sumptuous. And on his wrong(!) foot as well. |

You can see him growing in stature and confidence in every game. Only problem is I hope he doesn't end up in Griffiths position when we sign a new midfielder...suppose the competition can only be a good thing. |

Agree that he is currently a joy to watch and hopefully he continues, however we must keep improving and if we can sign a better player than anyone currently in possession of a shirt then we have to go down that route. No place for favourites anymore just keep improving Celtic
